How did children survive without social media if it’s so necessary? How did children survive before the last 50 years?

Exactly. Young people coped with that lifestyle up until the
last century.

I do think this was hard on kids, but it has to be kept in
perspective.

Heck, I didn’t have much of a social life in high school.

I went to three schools, and my list of friends was pretty
short. Somehow I made it the maladjusted teen years to live
as a maladjusted adult. (smile)

Somehow these poor things will make it through.

Their scars will only be as big as they feel the need for
them to be.

Not talking about social media. They’re talking about the lack of social interaction due to schools being shut down.

Today’s social media teens & the teens I was raised with are 2 entirely different situations.
